Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva strongly criticized a new plan by former US President Donald Trump. Lula said the plan is a worrying attempt to make a "new United Nations." He believes it would give one person too much control.
Speaking in Rio Grande do Sul, Lula shared his concerns. He feels the current UN rules are not being respected. He warned that global cooperation could be weakened. This is a significant worry for many leaders.
Trump announced his "Board of Peace" plan at a meeting in Davos. This has started a big discussion. The US has pulled back from some UN groups before. Lula's strong words show a growing fear about global leadership.
Lula defended the idea of working together internationally. He said the UN charter is being damaged. He believes Trump's plan is not meant to fix the UN. Instead, he thinks it wants to avoid the UN.
Lula said, "Instead of fixing the United Nations, President Trump is proposing to create a new UN where only he is the owner." This shows a fear that such ideas can hurt past diplomatic work. It could also make global problems worse.
Lula also spoke with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Xi Jinping said the UN is very important for countries to work together. Brazil and China now agree on the UN's importance. They want to protect global groups.
The members of Trump's "Board of Peace" are also being looked at closely. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is named as a member. This is a difficult choice because of war crime accusations. Also, UN workers have died in recent conflicts.
Trump's way of doing things has already upset many allies. His new "Board of Peace" plan seems like another part of this. It could change how the world deals with problems. It might even lead to more global problems.
